AT THE MICHIGAN -"THE PURSUIT OF1 HAPPINESS" A Paramount picture starring Fran- cis Lederer, with Joan Bennett, Charles1 Ruggles, and Mary Boland, and under the direction of Alexander Hall. A Charley Chasescomedy. "Something Simple?" Pete Smith on "Rugby." and the newsreel. If there is anything that we despise in the way of motion pictures, it is deceit.*'We give "The Pursuit of Hap- piness" the above rating because it is so disappointing that it is deceitful. For many years, we have heard a great deal about the colonial institu- tion of bundling. In fact, we evenI read something or other about it in, history. We had imagined great things about it (which, however, is not to be interpreted as an aspersion upon ourj character). When we read the ad-j yances on this picture, we took our seat in the theatre expecting some- thing subtle and delightfully "smut- ty," (if we may use a trite expres- sion) - something like "Reunion in Vienna." Not that we particularly go in for that sort of stuff, but if it's clever enough, it is a pleasant change. "The Pursuit of Happiness" failed imagination than we possess, to see one thing that was little more than off color. (This statement will prob- ably discourage more people than anything else). Well, let's get down to the picture. Francis Lederer, who has a most de- lightful accent, is a Hessian soldier in the Revolutionary war who has de- serted to seek his chances with the Americans. He escapes to a village in Connecticut where he is apprehended by Prudence (Joan Bennett) and he is taken prisoner. He, of course, falls in love with the girl, and all ends happily when General Washington makes him chief interpreter of his staff. In addition to Mr. Lederer's delight- ful accent and Miss Bennett's at- tractiveness, there are a few good laughs by Charlie Ruggles, and that's about ali. The plot is weak, the dialogue has its high spots, but is mediocre most of the time, and there is no real acting, with the possible exception of Charles Ruggles who has an extremely small role, and Mr. Lederer. The show is not the kind that is "unspeakably painful," if we may quote Dean Swift, but neither is it good. To say the most for it, it is DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN {Continued from Page 2) Events Today The Graduate Luncheon for Chem- ical Engineers will be held today in Room 3201 E. Eng. Bldg. Dean E. H.
